White Paper: Top 6 Considerations When Purchasing Network Taps

Network visibility and data access to your traffic ensure that your network runs efficiently. A network tap (Test Access Port) is an inexpensive and permanent access port used throughout the network to enable monitoring and analysis without interrupting data transmission. There are many benefits for choosing a network tap solution instead of diverting data with a port connection on a switch. With so many network taps available on the market, choosing the right tap provides significant savings. For example, did you know that signal loss and degradation may result in thousands spent for additional cable roll-outs in data centers? Ensure you have the best technology and value for your deployment by understanding the key differences in network taps.

Case Study: vTaps and Vision ONE Deliver Innovative Virtual Access

Most government agency data centers in the United States are policy driven with procedures in place for monitoring everything occurring within each center. Many are now highly virtualized, and while the information technology (IT) teams recognize that visibility gaps exist, many are not aware of a solution. The Ixia account team introduced this large federal agency to Ixia’s integrated virtualized visibility platform, which maximized monitoring effectiveness by ensuring proper access to the data the customer needed, when and where it need it.

Ixia can not only improve, but also simplify, your troubleshooting activities by using context-aware processing to analyze and report on your application data.

Instead of attempting to “find the needle in the haystack” within all of your web traffic, the metadata provided by Ixia helps you to rapidly and uniquely identify suspicious traffic or activity and drill down to see defining characteristics that reveal further insight on network impairments. Ixia was first to market with these metadata capabilities in 2014 and we have continued to enhance these capabilities to deliver actionable intelligence
